I don't know if this is true or not and to be clear: I doubt it. Nokia made a wonderful sliding mechanism in the Nokia E7 and the one at the dev device I had to play with felt nearly the same.
What remains then as reason?
Management (read: Elop) or anything else?
That's always been the reason IMO.
Never bought the faulty slider mechanism story

Cept that's referring to meego-core (vanilla meego), not harmatten...
Not everything was/is shared between the two platforms, at least yet.

---> Nokia AV 3.5 port

^ Is for outputting 720p (in dolby encoded format/s)

I understand they will be (have been) handed out to reviewers, devs, partners, carriers, commercial devs and so on, but the production figure still seems high to account for the difference.
At least I hope commercial developers are obliged to write software if they receive a free/leased Dali. Any info on that?
Interested in an answer on this too...
At those numbers surely there'll be quite few that leech out onto the regular market. Hopefully not for an overly inflated price

I'm bothered that I'm being forced to choose between a rather slow, memory lacking phone aka N8 or not having the same connectivity on a faster phone it just doesn't serve the customer at all.
What makes you think outputting via the Nokia AV 3.5 port is in any way inferior to outputting via hdmi?
Anyway I don't see where its proven we don't have USB-otg or MHL... yet.
Just because it's no mentioned in official specs, doesn't mean its not there.
Some other things may be further supported in the coming weeks... or not.
